Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 171

[Chapter 171 Packaging]

“That’s right, the government office will hold an exam in the near future, and this king will come up with the questions. Scholars who take part in the exam will be selected for employment, regardless of the rich and poor.” Zhao Xu’s expression was firm.

In his view, the talent selection system is the foundation of a country.

The election system of Dasong was abolished in the contemporary Tang Dynasty.

Because this is the soil for the survival of powerful and wealthy families.

After that, the imperial examination took the stage, and in modern times, it is to select the best and select talents through examinations.

Now that there is no obstruction from powerful and powerful families in his fiefdom, it is natural to implement this more advanced selection system.

“Is there no distinction between common and rich families?”

Liu Fu looked excited.

“Naturally, it’s fair and just. Everyone is treated equally and used according to their ability. From now on, officials will be selected in this way in this king’s fiefdom.” Zhao Xu said.

When Liu Fu heard this, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

He had imagined countless times that scholars in the world could compete in such a fair environment before they could enter the officialdom.

And now Yan Wang actually thinks of him together.

For him, King Yan is his confidant.   Ignoring everyone’s eyes, he hugged Zhao Xu’s thigh and burst

into tears, “Your Highness, you are the most virtuous king in the world, you are the most virtuous king in the world, you are the most virtuous king in the world, you are the most virtuous king.”

It’s shameless.

Chang Wei took it for granted, who made King Yan always give them big surprises?

He also despised Liu Fu before, but the artillery incident made him like Liu Fu.

Mo Yu was dumbfounded, the people around King Yan were really different from King Yan.

At this moment, a soldier hurried upstairs and said, “Your Highness, the Gao family father and son have been found.”

Not long after, Gao Yuan and his son were escorted over.

“King Yan, I am the father-in-law of Yuanzhou Mu. If you dare to touch a single hair of my hair, Yuanzhou Mu will definitely not let you go.”

Pushed to the ground by the soldiers, Gao Yuan kept struggling, but still refused to give in.

His eldest son, Gao Man, looked downcast.

When King Yan’s soldiers attacked Wubao, he and his father hid in their secret room.

Hidden overnight, but was still found.

“Just wait, the Yuan family’s army will arrive soon, and they will kill every single one of you.” Gao Yuan continued to yell.

“Hahaha…” Zhao Xu laughed loudly, and he said, “I’m afraid I’ve disappointed you. The Yuan family army you were looking forward to has already come, but they were defeated by this king, and fled back to Fan Yang in embarrassment.”

“Impossible.” Gao Yuan yelled, “How can your mere 20,000 people resist the Yuan family’s 200,000 army.”

Chang Wei and other generals laughed out loud, their eyes full of sarcasm.

Liu Fu said: “Mr. Gao, you take yourself too seriously. How come the 200,000 army is just more than 20,000 old and weak soldiers.”

Gao Yuan still refused to accept this reality. He kept murmuring, “Impossible, this is impossible.”

Zhao Xu was too lazy to talk nonsense with the father and son, and beheaded the soldiers guarding the father and son.

“Hang their heads on the city gate.” When turning to leave, Zhao Xu dropped a sentence.

Once Gao’s father and son died, the affairs of Shanggu County came to an end.

In the future, Shanggu County will be under the unified jurisdiction of the Wangfu just like Yan County.

After leaving Wubao, Zhao Xu and his generals returned to Shanggu City.

In the government office, Zhao Xu said to Liu Fu: “I will leave the rest of the chores to you. One is to search the property of the wealthy family in Shanggu County, and the other is to distribute the confiscated land to the common people.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Liu Fu cupped his hands, smiling all over his face.

This is completely different from the frowning look he had when he first took over Shanggu County.

After all, like Yan County, no one in Shanggu County can stop the decree issued by the government.

Zhao Xu turned to Chang Wei again, “One of you and Mo Yu should stay. Now that the noble family in Shanggu County has been eradicated, it is the time when the people are excited. The recruitment of new soldiers should be smoother, and the number of soldiers from the palace will reach 60,000 as soon as possible. ”

“Let’s leave this matter to Lieutenant Mo.” Chang Wei said.

Mo Yu showed a grateful expression. Since he came to King Yan’s army, he hadn’t had a chance to show his fists yet, and he was always depressed.

Now that Chang Wei asked him to be in charge of recruiting recruits, it was tantamount to handing over tens of millions of recruits to him for training.

Zhao Xu nodded without objecting.

That’s fine, even though he has great trust in Chang Wei.

However, it is not appropriate for his soldiers and horses to be in the hands of only one person.

Chang Wei is usually careless, but he is still cautious in major matters.

It must be because of the thought that one person holds the military power alone, which will inevitably make the officials under King Yan jealous in the future.

So simply take Mo Yu out, one half, and the military power is divided equally.

In this way, many accusations can be avoided.

At the same time, this can also give Mo Yu a chance to display his talents.

He also explained some matters about the government and military affairs of Shanggu County.

In the afternoon, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei set off to return to Yan County.

In the evening of the next day, a group of people arrived.

Before entering the city gate, Zhao Xu looked at the endless stream of carriages on the official road, showing a puzzled expression.

He hadn’t left for a few days, but Yancheng seemed to be a little more noisy than before.

Chang Wei led the troops back to the camp, and he returned to the palace under the protection of Xu Lie.

“Your Highness, you are back,” when he learned that King Yan was back.

Feng’er and Luan’er waited at the gate of the palace.

Seeing Zhao Xu, the two showed joyful expressions.

Xiao Biesheng is newly married, the two girls and Zhao Xu have been together for a long time, and they usually don’t think there is anything wrong.

But after a few days of separation, there was a little lovesickness.

In front of everyone, the two had to remain reserved,

but once they got to the backyard and there were no other people around, they showed their true colors and walked towards the bedroom alone holding Zhao Xu’s arm.

Because he and the two had already torn the window paper, Zhao Xu took it for granted and played around with the two.

Back in the dormitory, a sumptuous dinner had already been set up in the room.

Zhao Xu took the hands of the two and asked them to sit beside him.

He is alone in Yan County.

Although there are old men like Chang Wei and Liu Fu, there are old men’s feelings among the old men.

Iron, blood and tenderness are indispensable to him.

Luan’er and Feng’er are this kind of tenderness.

Let his manic heart gradually calm down after the killing.

“Your Highness, the city of Yan has been very lively in the past few days since you left. Many merchants from the capital have come to clamor to buy the perfume of the palace.” Feng’er leaned on Zhao Xu and said softly.

“No wonder, I said why Yancheng suddenly became lively, so that’s what happened. It seems that the reputation of this perfume has already been established in the capital.” Zhao Xu said.

After pacifying Shanggu County, this is another happy event.

Now the palace can have another important income.

“No, I heard from these businessmen that all the ladies in the capital are crazy about buying perfume. This time, His Highness is going to get rich.” Luan’er said softly.

“When His Highness made the perfume, the slaves thought it would be a hit.” Feng’er was triumphant, thinking of something, she said: “When His Highness was away, Master Yang sent a letter, which is said to be from Deputy Dong. The master sent it from the people in the capital.”

After she finished speaking, she walked out and returned after a while, holding a letter in her hand and handing it to Zhao Xu.

Opening the envelope, Zhao Xu glanced at the contents above and nodded lightly.

This is a letter from Dong An. The letter from Dongwan mainly said one thing and that was the pricing of perfume in the capital.

According to his survey, two adults feel that they can accept even a bottle of one hundred taels of perfume.

50% of people think that the price of perfume should be between 22 taels and 30 taels.

Another 30% of people think that the perfume should be below 22 taels.

After reading the contents of the letter, Zhao Xu felt concerned.

These are actually the three consumption levels of consumers.

One hundred taels is not too expensive, naturally it is the top ladies in the capital, they are really not short of money.

Only sell good ones, don’t care about the price.

Twenty and thirty taels represent middle-class ladies.

Those below twenty taels are the bottom.

With this investigation, he had a calculation in his heart.

This time, Wangfu’s perfume seems to be sold in three levels, just like wine.

But this time, he didn’t intend to differentiate by lowering the concentration like wine.

Instead, they decided to officially rely on packaging and repackage the wine and perfume together.

Let the three grades of goods have a more obvious distinction.

As for the way to increase the degree of differentiation, he has thought about it.

This depends on the next heavyweight item to be made.
